Porcine ear necrosis? Rethinking ear lesions in pigs
Initial injuries at the tip of the ear are usually due to chewing behavior, while injuries at the base of the ear appear to be influenced by feeder-related bites.

To complement the necropsy course, we have produced a series of videos of different processes in pigs.

The speed at which events have unfolded makes one want to get off this rollercoaster ride of a year, but the world doesn’t stop.
The flu is very much in the media spotlight, so we wanted to find out how much our users know about influenza's role in pigs and humans. To do this, we conducted a mini survey among our users.
The market is gradually working its way out of a phase of tension.
There is no doubt that ASF weighs heavily on pig prices. Prices will probably rise until they reach (and possibly exceed) the cost price, but we should not expect any major joys in 2026.
As we do at the beginning of every year, we are back to ask you about the average pig price in your country. We will soon publish the results of your predictions for 2025, but now we are interested in hearing how you think this 2026 will go...
Individual precision feeding facilitates the use of alternative feedstuffs, such as forage, agro-industrial by-products, and others, by allowing them to be provided according to each animal's consumption and growth.
Zone one, for surveillance, is where no cases have been reported, and zone two covers the area where outbreaks have been detected.
Prices were expected to be significantly better than what ultimately materialized in the hog markets.
With a presence in over 25 countries, 11 languages, and an ever-growing community.
The area covered by Level III restrictions (the so-called ASF red zone) is no longer in force in Poland.
The withdrawal of ZnO in the EU and the UK, and the pressure to reduce the use of antibiotics, has accelerated the shift to implement alternatives to protect postweaning gut health.
What can we do to protect ourselves from influenza? And to protect pigs?
Influenza is a significant respiratory disease that affects not only pigs but also human health. The actions of personnel who have access to pigs directly influence the disease's impact. In this short survey, we want to know if you take steps to reduce the risk of spreading influenza.
We already asked you this questions three years ago. In some countries, the disease was already present; in others, it entered during this time; and some remain free of it. We believe it's time to reassess the level of confidence in your country's biosecurity.
Together, they will deliver a comprehensive understanding, combining applied field knowledge with the most recent research on Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC) control and prevention.
PIGPEF: Calculating the environmental footprint in the pork value chain
What do we know about the carbon footprint? What about the product environmental footprint? Are we applying this in our companies?
